The purpose of this post is to meet that need (because there is a need) in one fell swoop. Found on this page are any species customisation options from popular franchises, including new flag emblems, portraits, cityscapes, ship sets, and so on. These cover franchises that have proven popular amongst the Stellaris modding community. Not included are any total conversion mods or mods that alter the game beyond graphical/flavour inclusions, or any mods that introduce content from non-sci-fi franchises (such as Game of Thrones). This page does not aim to be complete and is largely a reflection of my own opinion of the mods, but I believe it to be an accurate representation of quality mods from the community.

Halo

Multi-type

Sins of the Prophets: Stellaris

Sins of the Prophets began life as a Halo mod for Sins of a Solar Empire. This mod (the Stellaris version, so we’re clear!) includes animated portraits for humans and the Covenant (find the the Halo Covenant Species and Halo Universe Human Species mods separately below), namelists, flag emblems, and UNSC and Covenant ships!

Mass Effect

Multi-type

Mass Effect Species Pack

This mod collects together a few separate mods various authors to introduce more flag emblems (gold and silver) and six animated species portraits and namelists (Asari, Cerberus, Alliance, Turians, Quarians, Salarians) into Stellaris.

Mass Effect – The Asari Civilisation

This mod, true to its name, does everything Asari: a new animated species (with 56 portrait variations and more than 90 outfits), a new ship set, a new cityscape, pregenerated empires, an extra civic, and two extra traits. If you’re looking only for graphical mods, watch out for those last two features.

Ship Sets

Star Trek Federation TNG-Ships Standalone

This is a ship set extracted from the Star Trek: New Horizons total conversion mod reflecting the state of the ships used by the United Federation of Planets featured during The Next Generation, to use alone or with other mods. It isn’t compatible with ST:NH itself, but you shouldn’t need to use it in that circumstance anyway.

Star Trek Federation TMP-Ships Standalone

This is a ship set extracted from the Star Trek: New Horizons total conversion mod reflecting the state of the ships used by the United Federation of Planets featured during The Motion Picture, to use alone or with other mods. It isn’t compatible with ST:NH itself, but you shouldn’t need to use it in that circumstance anyway.

Star Wars Rebel Alliance

Star Wars Species Pack

This mod pack contains ~20 new animated Star Wars portraits plus more than 15 species namelists. Species don’t spawn randomly unless added to custom empires. There are instructions to alter this behaviour on the linked Workshop page.

Ship Sets

Star Wars Empire Ships

This ship set allows you to play with the Galactic Empire Fleet from the Imperial Civil War era.

To use these ships, you’ll need to use the included custom empire “Event Galactic Empire 2”. This empire can be edited as you like, but will activate the new ships in-game. Make sure to read the Workshop page as there are a few ifs-and-buts to using this ship set (it’s not just a simple ship set addition).

Star Wars Mandalorian Ships

This ship set allows you to play with the Mandalorian Fleet from the KOTOR/SWTOR/GCW eras. Known compatibility issues with NSC. If you want random empires to be able to use this ship set, grab the AI Add-On Pack.

Star Wars Rebel Ships

This ship set allows you to play with the Rebel Alliance Fleet form the Imperial Civil War era.

To use these ships, you’ll need to use the included custom empire “Event Rebel Alliance 2”. This empire can be edited as you like, but will activate the new ships in-game. Make sure to read the Workshop page as there are a few ifs-and-buts to using this ship set (it’s not just a simple ship set addition).

Other

Battlestar Galactica Shipset

This is a WIP mod that nonetheless contains a near-complete set of ship and station models inspired by Battlestar Galactica designs. It’s unfortunately not compatible with NSC, but can be used with Downscaled Ships with a patch.

Cyrannus Flags

EvE Online: Horizons – Lite Core

This is a lightweight version of the EvE Online: Horizons mod, containing only the graphical features of the main mod. This includes four species classes (Amarr, Gallente, Caldari, Minmatar), each with a ship set, animated portraits, and a namelist. Also included are flag emblems from the EVE universe.

Portraits

United Sci-Fi Races (Animated Only)

This mod adds a massive 90+ animated portraits to Stellaris. It’s part of a larger mod containing static portraits too, called, unsurprisingly, United Sci-Fi Races. This has over 190 races. A number of these animated portraits are included in some of the other mods featured on this page.

The large mod includes portraits from XCOM, Doctor Who, and Babylon 5, amongst other franchises. By default, the animated version of the mod allows random AI empires to utilise the portraits; the larger mod, should you choose to use it instead, requires a patch: Patch for United Sci-Fi Races.
